4De minimis carryover is a small amount of carryover catch above a
sector’s current year allocation that would be exempt from the
pound-for-pound payback if overage repayment accountability is triggered.

⁵The
de minimis amount of
carryover from FY15 to FY16 is 1% of the FY16 initial ACE not to exceed
unused ACE carried over from FY15.

⁶The
maximum amount of carryover from FY15 to FY16 is 10% of the FY15 initial ACE,
except for some stocks whose maximum carryover was reduced to prevent
potential catch from exceeding ABC in FY16.

⁷Maximum
potential carryover and the amount of FY15 ACE available to carryover exclude
state-operated permit banks, which cannot carry over ACE.

⁸The calculations for columns J, K, O, P, and Q involve data of all sectors combined and will not
exactly match the calculations on a sector-by-sector basis because
state-operated permit banks cannot carry over ACE.

Any
value for a non-allocated species may be due to landings of that stock;
misreporting of species and/or stock area; and/or estimated landings (in lieu
of missing reports) based on vessel histories.

These data are the best available to NOAA's National Marine
Fisheries Service (NMFS). Data sources for this report include: (1) Vessels
via VMS; (2) Vessels via vessel logbook reports; (3) Dealers via Dealer
Electronic reporting. Values are in live weight and include estimates of
missing dealer reports. Differences with previous reports are due to
corrections made to the database.
